CIVILIANS Civilians in the United States will have more froxen vegetables during the next five months as a result of an expected all-time rec ord high production.

Get 'oob today. Early Planting Saves On Labor "Time" is one of the most impor tant elements in the farm produc tion schedule and it doesn't cost 1 anything. hxteriMon iarm management specialists at State College sug gest that with corn, for example, the early breaking of the land, the application of 300 pounds of fer til zer per acre ahead of planting, and the preparation of a good seed bed, so as to get the crop in th.' ground at the "right time" in early spring, will not only result in larg or yields but will also help to save on labor. i Corn phtntetl in a good, well pre pared seed bed has less chance of getting "In The Grass." Three hun dred pounds of a high analysis fertilizer per acre at planting quickly "kicks the crop to knee high" so that it can be worked ou' without interfering with the cash crop, when they must be given first consideration. Under average con ditions, early planted corn has a better opportunity of making a good crop than that planted later.. The farm management specia lists also suggest slight shifts in crop acreages, which will add to the labor requirements in the off months and lessen the needed labor at peak periods. Sowing lespe deza in small grains now rather than a crop of cowpeas or soybeans this summer, may be a step in the right direction for some growers. Another grower may decide to substantially greater amount of these devices will be produced in the year ending June 30, 1944, than in any previous year, WPB said. Manufacture of packing trunks, with iron and steel frames, is per mitted for civilian use, WPB an nonced. This year civilians in the United States will get about 63 out of every 100 pounds of evapo rated milk, 168 million pounds of dried skim milk, and 19 million pounds of dried whole milk, WFA announced. These quantities are less than the amounts received by civilians last year. Broom produc tion is seriously curtailed because of acute shortages of broomcorn and handles. WPB reports, and broom handle production may even continue to decline. OPA has re duced the ceiling prices of fresh sliced codfish four to four and one half cents per pound in winter and three cents per pound in summer. Total U. S. war casualties as re porded by OWI February 9 were 160,478, including 34,179 dead, 61, 292 wounded, 34,746 missing, 30,261 prisoners of war. A shortage of large size tires may delay putting into use some of the newly com pleted farm tractors, accord ng to the Tractor Industry Advisory Committee of WPB. Hosiery deal ers cannot force a customer who wants to buy fine guage women's pniiMn-ltP ravon rosiery to also buy coarser Because of an increased demand , or heavier guage women's hosiery, for electric fence controllers, a I OPA says. GETS MEAT POINTS FOR USED FATS ifnr4 AGRICULTURAL CONSERVA TION PROGRAM The 1944 program for U. S. agricultural conservation practic es, designed to guide six million farm families in getting maximum production from their land, has been announced by WFA. Among the most important practices are those dealing with application of lime and phosphate, which give the soil greater "fire-power," imme diately boosting production at low cost. LESS PAPER FOR PACKAGES Fewer package wrappings will be available for retail shoppers this year. Shortage of wood pulp for paper-making will not permit a normal supply. There will be enough bags for assorted groceries, WPB said, if housewives save these bags and take them back to stores for their own re-use. WPB also advised that the shopping bag with handles must be used many times to substitute for individual package wrappings. LIFE-SAVING TRAINING PAYS OFF Intensive training in life-saving enabled American merchant sea man of the SS Monterey to rescue 1,676 survivors of a torpedoed troop transport in the Mediterranean, ac cording to the War Shipping Ad ministration. Some of the 1,977 persons aboard the transport were saved by other craft, and only four persons were lost. ' ciiK MtM Slate College Hints Ruth Current. State Home Demonstration Agent N. C.

Mud stains are nt liffcult to remove if dealt with promptly and properly. Clothing specialists advise le' ting the mud dry, then brush off as uuch as possible with a stiff brush. If the mud is on a wash garment, inches of the soil. GERMAN U-BOATS LOSE THEIR PUNCH The amount of merchant ship tonnage sunk by German U-boats during January was among the lowest monthly figures for the whole war, according to a joint Anglo-American statement issued last week by the Office of War Information.

Have the pleasure of in specting our varied lines of sta tionery, in several colors. Just the kind you'll like for your own correspondence and to use as gifts. The Mountaineer MRS. VINCENT ASTOR, New York gociety woman, takes advantage of the government's offer of giving civilians two meat ration points for every pound of used fat they turn back to butchers. This fat produces the glycerine necessary tor the making of munitions. (Inter -'tonal) TIMELY Farm Questions and Answers Question; What kind of a graz ing crop should I sow for spring pigs? Answer: Ellis Vestal, Extension su,ine specialist at StHte College, suggests that you plant sufficient Question: Do crossbred broilers outweight purebredsT Answer: Yes, say research men if the Agricultural Experiment Station at State College. In seven een groups of crossbred and pure bred broilers, including purebred Rhode Island Reds, Barred fly- mouth Rocks, and White Leghorns, wid six crosses of these breeds, only ne group of purebreds was as Heavy as the related crossbreds. All crossbreds were fully feathered tt ten weeks. Differences in mor tality were not great, but the per centage was lower in all groups of -rossbreda than among the pure breds. soak in clear cold water then wa.sk with soap and warm water. If the garment is not washable, sponge the stain with denatured alcohoL For rayon and colored clothes use diluted alcohol. Twice as much water as alcohol is the proportion. Mud often does more damage te leather than to fabric. If left to dry on shoes it may make a per manent stain. It should be re moved at once with a wet cloth or stiff brush. Polish shoes when dry. No ironing. After washing over alls in soapy water, rinse twice bat only wring out the first water. Hang on the line dripping wet Yosj will be surprised how smooth they will be when dry. I wash my cot ton gloves this way. Does your pressure canner neesl to be repaired? If so, now is the time to send it back to the factory Manufacturers of pressure cannere say that they can handle repair jobs on Canners faster before pro duction of 1944 canners gets into full swing. Repair parts will be available for all standard makes ef canners. Don't return your caa ner to the factory, if it can be re paired at home. The National Food Conference, recently held in Chicago, recom mended only steam pressure can ning for all the low-acid vegetable and meats. put in a few acics of sweet pota toes for the market and for hog feed. "There are many opportunities for increasing production through doing more farm jobs 'On Time' and changes can be made that will result in the saving of considerable labor," the Extension specialists point out. acreRge to a mixture of oats, rape and lespedesa as early in Febru ury as possible. "An acre seeded to 3 pounds of rape, 3 bushels of Fulgrain or Fulghum oats, and 25 pounds of lespedeza should furnish grazing for two or three litters of rigs from the middle of April until frost," Vestal says. The crop should be well fertilized. Question: How deep should I apply my lime to the soil? Answer; When lime is added to the surface few inches of the soil a long time is needed for the neu tralizing effect to penetrate through the entire plowed layer, report research men of the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station at State College. Field experiments have Bhown that when part of the lime is put deeper in the soil, bet ter crop growth und root distribu tion are obtained than if all the lime is added to the surface 4 VfU'tw iwf af ao tnai our soiaiers, sailors, idu marines everywhere can get their Camels fretb Camels are packed to go round the world, to seal in that famous Camel flavor and mild ness anywhere.

Fighting fleets are rol , ling on the Southern Railway these days! Fleets of freight trains... loaded with guns, jeeps, tanks, planes, and munitions of every sort... with the raw materials to make more . . .with food, clothes, coal and oil... with everything needed by a nation at war. Fleets of passenger trains . . . carrying troops in solid trainloads toward the war fronts. . .men and women in uniform, going back home on precious furlough trips... government officials and civilians traveling on essential war business. Yes, these are fighting fleets... fighting the vital home-front battle of transportation. And winning it, too! Thanks to the loyal cooperation of our shippers and the friendly understanding of our patrons, the Southern's trains are playing an important part in speeding the day of Victory. When Peace comes, these same fleets of freight and passenger trains will "Serve the South" by hauling the rich commerce of a greater, stronger Southland... more efficiently than ever before be cause of the priceless lessons we're learning today.
